Emergency - Grandparent Scam

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

The OPP and GTA police services are jointly conducting an investigation into Emergency – Grandparent Scams, which target elderly persons throughout Canada.

The majority of the victims are Ontario residents. In recent weeks, the OPP and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received reports of fraudsters contacting taxi companies, requesting them to go to long-term care homes to retrieve funds from victims targeted in the Emergency - Grandparent Scams.

In response, MLTC is partnering with the OPP and the Ministry of Health to share the attached prevention materials with Ontario long-term care homes and their residents
